[QUOTE="limpwhizkid, post: 729200, member: 68258"] 1) this fix is into the beta ? , is it only for streaming to clients then ? and not local play ? The root of the problem is that tswriter, tsreader and streamingserver make a lot of unnecessary and an excessive number of read & write disk operations with live tv. Viewing a HD channel on my setup caused MP and tvserver to perform over 11,000 disk IO operations per second (very high for even a fast disk).

The difference has been massive on my setup. 2) if it is only after startup , maybe he just started his machine up , and its still in the background starting other processes. but there is so much that could affect his performance its impossible to give any directions.. thats probably why everybody says -->> upgrade the hardware :D [/QUOTE]
